The secrets of making homemade Napoleon cake

• If you are making homemade cakes, it is recommended to sift the flour several times. This way, the dough will be fluffy and the cake itself will be more tender and tasty.
• It is best to choose high-fat butter for baking. This also determines how fluffy the dough will be.

• Before baking, make at least a few punctures on the surface of the cakes. This way, they will bake evenly and have the same shape.
• The longer the cake soaks, the juicier and tastier it will be.
